Quick starter kit for new processor family announced
congatec is presenting a SMARC 2.0 Quick Starter Kit for the new NXP i.MX8 QuadMax processor family. The kit offers everything developers need for the immediate evaluation of the new NXP i.MX 8 processor generation. Developers of vision-based AI applications, in particular, benefit from the natively supported integrated MIPI interfaces and optional pre-configured software support for artificial intelligence.
Driving sales by broadening market reach
Vendor of standardised and customised embedded computer boards and modules, congatec, has signed a sales partnership with Fortec. The goal is to expand the market reach of congatec’s embedded computer boards and modules as well as to create new higher value-added offerings.
Everything is getting smaller and more compact
It has been announced that congatec will be presenting solutions such as a server on a 125x95mm footprint, and a high-end Core i7 processor on a 3.5” board including all interfaces at embedded world 2019, along with many exhibits showcasing the fusion of embedded computing and vision as well as artificial intelligence.
Edge server platforms for aircrafts showcased
Vendor of standardised and customised embedded computer boards and modules, congatec, has showcased its new modular airborne computing platforms for connected aircrafts, passenger infotainment, and augmented reality applications at Aeromart Toulouse.
Fusion of embedded computing and vision technologies
At this year’s electronica, congatec showcased the fusion of embedded computing and embedded vision technology, - including artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning, to present holistic Embedded Vision platforms. The goal was to provide OEM customers with a comprehensive ecosystem that integrates as easily and efficiently as a standard USB device.
RAM support doubled for Server-on-Modules
Vendor of standardised and customised embedded computer boards and modules, congatec, has announced that its Intel Atom C3000 processor based conga-B7AC Server-on-Modules now support up to 96 GB DDR4 SO-DIMM memory on three sockets. This is twice the previously supported capacity, potentially setting a milestone for COM Express Type 7 based designs, as memory is important for embedded edge server technologies.
